First Nation groups coming together to improve safety
A new First Nations partnership regarding public and worker safety has been set up.
The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN), Saskatchewan Gaming Authority (SIGA), and Saskatchewan First Nations Safety Association (SFNSA), will work towards improving various education and safety programs with the ultimate aim of making First Nation organizations, businesses and communities safer. The three groups announced the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) at a press conference in Saskatoon Friday.
The CEO of the SFNSA, Toby Desnomie, said they will model their efforts around what SIGA has already been doing with workplace safety.
“This in turn will bring safety awareness to communities as well as competency, so skills ability knowledge and training on the tasks they do every day,” he said.
